2867 Secrets of the Soul Sea (4)

"Oh?"

Senior Sister Shen Le asked, "How big is the red flower? How did it appear?"

Feng Yu said, "It emerged from a gray void. Green vines, red flowers, devouring laws, and it can even swallow my fire technique."

Han Fei couldn't help but think of such a huge flower. It seemed quite spectacular. It was rare to be able to draw a tie with Feng Yu.

Although he hadn't tested Feng Yu's strength, as a disciple of the Void Temple, she couldn't be weak. Then the Holy Lady of the Miracle Forest must be ridiculously strong.

Senior Sister Shen Le said, "It must be an innate demonic plant just like Green Lotus and Red Lotus. Interesting. It's a little strange that such a person doesn't enter our Void Temple. We have a selection trial in the South Sea Divine Realm, right?"

Senior Brother Azure Dragon said, "We can't expect all the most outstanding Heavenly Talents in the world to belong to our Void Temple. It's a pity to miss this talent, but it won't be a big problem."

Feng Yu nodded. "Yes, I don't want her to join us. Anyway, I don't like her. She's especially cold and aloof. She's a woman with no feelings."

Senior Sister Shen Le: "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Is there anything else? If not, shall we disperse?"

"Wait a minute."

Han Fei shouted. Under everyone's gaze, Han Fei turned around and cupped his hands at Senior Brother Undead. "Senior Brother Undead, I have something to ask you."

Senior Brother Undead said, "Little Junior Brother, just tell me."

Han Fei asked, "Senior Brother Undead, is it a good thing or a bad thing if a cultivator becomes an undead creature after he dies?"

Senior Brother Undead asked, "Little Junior Brother, have you come into contact with the Immortal Temple?"

Han Fei didn't keep it a secret. There was no need to keep such a thing a secret. The people who knew the Three Temples best must be from the Three Temples.

Senior Brother Six God said, "Little Junior Brother, you'd better not interact with these people from the Immortal Temple. They're quite annoying."

Senior Brother Undead said, "Six God, you can't deny them just because the Immortal Temple once declared war on your insect race. You know the reason for the war."

Senior Brother Six God said, "Senior Brother Undead, of course I know it, but I just don't like them."

Senior Brother Undead didn't say anything else but said to Han Fei, "It's difficult to define whether it's good to become an undead creature or not. When living people die, their souls return to the Soul Sea, but not all of them return at once. Most of them are still floating in the void. Only after seven days will the soul in their bodies completely dissipate. In these seven days, as long as they cultivate undead techniques, they can become an undead creature and live again. Of course, their soul can only stay in the original body, and they can't possess others or transfer into other bodies. The remaining soul of their body will be locked in that body. The benefit is that their memories won't disappear. It's equivalent to having a dead person live again."

"What's the disadvantage?"

It was not difficult for Han Fei to accept this. After all, living people had Yang soul and Yin soul, but it was difficult for ordinary people to separate them. Perhaps only his father and mother could separate them so accurately.

Senior Brother Undead said, "The disadvantage is that if anyone who becomes an undead creature dies again, their soul will really shatter and disappear, which means that they won't be able to reincarnate."

"Huh!"

Feng Yu said, "Apart from the reincarnation wheel of our Phoenix Divine Race, for the myriad races in the Infinite Ocean, isn't it true that when a person dies, they are completely dead?"

Lei Heng also said, "Yes! Can a person reincarnate after death?"

Han Fei was also puzzled. It seemed that he was not the only one who was puzzled.

Senior Brother Undead said, "That's not true. Perhaps my choice of words isn't appropriate. The Immortal Temple doesn't resort to reincarnation, but soul capture. However, a long time ago, from the Chaotic Era to the early Prehistoric Era, it was called—reincarnation."

"Reincarnation?"

Everyone was immediately interested. Senior Sister Dark Shadow, Senior Brother Six God, and the others, including Green Lotus and Red Lotus, didn't seem to know either.

Senior Brother Undead slowly explained, "Legend has it that in the Chaotic Era, there was a path of reincarnation. After a person died, their souls entered the path of reincarnation before reincarnation. But for some reason, in the middle of the Primordial Era, the path of reincarnation disappeared and the Soul Sea appeared. After a person died, their souls no longer entered the path of reincarnation but the Soul Sea. There's no reincarnation in this world anymore. Nowadays, the so-called reincarnation refers to the act of a powerhouse forcibly taking a strand of his soul, purifying it and reshaping it, resulting in the creation of an avatar or the transfer of his soul body."

Han Fei couldn't help but say, "That is to say, in the Chaotic Era, when people died, they could reincarnate. But now, when people die, they are really dead."

Senior Brother Undead said, "Yes…"

Han Fei couldn't help but think of the brocade sachet that he had opened. On it was written, "Death is not the end of life. It's just that the door of reincarnation has not been opened." Why did the mysterious person write this for him?

"Reincarnation? Reincarnation?"

Suddenly, Han Fei's heart did a flip, and he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. Is circulation considered reincarnation? From the surface of the lake, my green jade stone bridge seems to be circulating, but that doesn't count as reincarnation, right?

Han Fei frowned. "What's the relationship between reincarnation and the Soul Sea? The Soul Sea is so big…"

Senior Brother Undead said, "When the path of reincarnation was still there, the soul body wouldn't perish after death. There was a place where souls circulated, which was equivalent to rebirth. At that time, it was called reincarnation. As long as a person's soul didn't dissipate, there might be countless reincarnations. But the path of reincarnation was gone, and a large number of people died, which meant that a large number of soul bodies couldn't find a place to go. So there was no reincarnation in the world, so no new life was born. It wasn't until the Soul Sea appeared that the Soul Sea purified the soul body and re-formed a brand-new soul body, throwing it into the vast Sea of Stars. Although there was no more reincarnation in the world, the birth of life could continue."

Han Fei and the others were all dumbfounded. Including Fifth Senior Brother, everyone was stunned.

Senior Brother Six God hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Undead, do you mean that the number of souls in this world is fixed? Every time a creature is born, the total amount of the Soul Sea will be consumed by one point?"

Senior Brother Undead said, "No."

Senior Brother Six God said, "That's not right! Then why is there no new life in this world when the Path of Reincarnation is gone?"

Senior Brother Undead said, "First of all, I don't know what a soul body really is, Eldest Senior Brother…"

Eldest Senior Brother shook his head slightly. "I don't know much about it, but it's certain that a soul body can only be called a soul body when it's symbiotic with a human. Otherwise, it's just a special power."

Senior Brother Undead continued, "That's right. This power is continuously born. It's said that there's no new life when the Path of Reincarnation is gone because this power could only be projected into the vast Sea of Stars through the Path of Reincarnation in the past. Without this entrance, there will naturally be no new life. And the Soul Sea opened this entrance again. In essence, it replaced the Path of Reincarnation. However, the Soul Sea doesn't have the power of reincarnation of the Path of Reincarnation…"

Senior Brother Undead said, "Therefore, Junior Brother, if an undead creature dies again, he will completely disappear and won't exist in this world anymore."

Han Fei said, "But the Path of Reincarnation is gone. Anyway, if one dies, he will return to the Soul Sea. Isn't it equivalent to Origin Returning?"

Senior Brother Undead shook his head again. "No, after a normal death, only part of the soul returned to the Soul Sea, and some parts drifted between the heavens and earth. In the end… it went missing."
